We got some fire questions as we always do and not just fire G row questions But fire questions meaning good questions. So let's get into it Next question came from my guy Joshua a is the Ravens over dependence on Lamar a Detriment to their growth and what they do now that the trade deadline is up If you notice something during the Miami game only number eight was upset and passionate on a sideline about how the game was going The rest of the team look disinterested as if waiting for Lamar to do something special again It's really pathetic. What can the Ravens do at this stage to become better now that the trade deadline is over The Ravens may be a good team, but it looks like they're not even trying to become a complete team hmm um Wow, that is a Powerful question right there. I think with the Miami game like I can't say that uh Well for that game. Yeah, I know Lamar was visibly upset, but that that is his That's him that that's how he plays the game of football He wears his heart on his sleeve. He shows his emotions Not everybody is like that not everybody does the same thing like even if you look at um at Joe Flacco With how he was whether the Ravens were up big Joe Flacco Just be sitting there if the Ravens were down big Joe Flacco Just be sitting there with it with his hand in his jersey. Just chillin. So um, it just all depends on somebody's personality now in the Dolphins game Oh I've heard some people say oh well, maybe because of the heat they were fatigued. I came by that one So I had most of these Ravens are from Florida anyway, so they know what it's like to deal with this Florida heat But it they it not that they even seem this interested on the sideline They seem this interested on the field to nothing was going good. It was just all kinds of bad But again, we can't just take that Dolphins game and be like, all right. That's the Ravens right there That's who the Ravens are because it was one very very bad game but it was it was one bad game and They've obviously won a lot more than they've lost this year So and they've showed the passion they show themselves having fun on the sidelines in the game and stuff Obviously when stuff is going right, but so I think with the Dolphins game. It was sort of in Anomaly an anomaly to the Ravens under Lamar Jackson again Like we said earlier how they they don't usually drop those games against those lesser teams like that And it was just sort of an anomaly for this season because they they just got adult They they got this straight-up beat And they really the offense just had absolutely like no life to it at all And the only drive where they actually did score it was just aided by penalties the whole time so I just We're all obviously ready to move on from that game short Raven They've already moved on from that game, you know fans they hang on the games longer than the players do But let's just see how they're passionate and let's just see how their Just that fire is up against Chicago Give how do you feel about just the Ravens the attitude at this point of the season? Yeah, I think you hit the no right on the head there in Graven Lamar Jackson is a very emotional player a very competitive person And he shows it. He's not afraid to show it and that's what a lot of people like about him It's one of the things I really like about him to be honest You know there was there was I think the viral clip that everybody's talking about and everybody's has seen Rashad Bateman I think was getting animated on the sideline to a little bit in that sequence where you know He was kind of like shaking his hands a little bit kind of agreeing with Lamar Jax Whatever he was saying, but yeah, you're right guys respond differently You know, I do remember those Joe flacco days where every time the camera pans to him The hands are in the jersey and he's just sitting there with the with the straight zombie face as people said But you know, I do think that For a Ravens team that is passionate about their players is passionate about winning football games This is a game where I don't think anybody was happy regardless of whether they were just sitting there on the sideline or Showing it, you know, they want to win these games, you know, they're in the National Football League They've built so much. They've worked so hard for these moments where you know You can look at a game like this and the sideline people looking this interested on the field, you know I think this is really where the fast starts come into play too because you know Let's say the Ravens is that scoring three points on those first two drives combined. They score 10 or they score 14 I think it's a lot different of a ball game I think the Ravens are in it a bit more instead of all of a sudden on offense They're like, okay, we're not picking up the blitzes. We can't respond. What are we doing? It gets people worried on the field too And and it's really important to get off to those fast starts now Because at least early in the game because that can set an entire tone It can set the Ravens up for success or can set them up for failure So I think when talking about their attitude and just how they carry themselves on the field Some people do it differently than others. I agree But this is where fast starts coming to play next question came from my guide Keith and his question Was in regards to the video that we've all seen circulating of the clip that we've all seen circulating around the web Where is Philip Rivers and he's on the Manning cast and he's talking about the Raven He makes that little that little baby jab at a Greg Roman in the Ravens for not adjusting. Anyway Said they didn't keep it clean. Hope everything is good I was watching this video and it makes me keep thinking that winning with Greg Roman may not be the best future for Lamar Jackson Sure, winning is good but making decisions on the field by Lamar may be on halt because of this offensive style Just want to see your thoughts because Roman won't be the coordinator forever Just wanted to hear what your thoughts of are of the QB starts and keep it clean So, um, of course, we all heard the the famous video We're Philip Rivers talking about it and the Ravens not having an answer For the cover zero, but again my thoughts same thoughts as before I just um, I Want to see how they respond? Now we all of course wish they would have responded in the Dolphins game But I want to see how they respond moving forward now when you talk about Greg Roman Greg Roman Say he said he's not gonna be the offensive coordinator forever and that's that's true. He won't be But with with Greg Roman and with with the Ravens when they brought in Lamar Jackson I just felt like they felt like Greg Roman was a safe coordinator Who could make Lamar Jackson's transition to the NFL a lot smoother and he has done pretty good overall like the offense They always ranked at the top But it's been those those clutch moments obviously in the playoffs where things just Fall apart and fell apart in a major way He under Greg Roman, I know he was the run game coordinator in 2018 and he didn't become offensive coordinator 2019. So when they made that switch from Marty morning we're to Greg Roman so again, the offensive ranks have been good and whatnot and but I just I Just wonder sometimes like cuz Lamar Lamar's been doing this since college. He's been doing this since before Greg Roman So I know a lot of a lot of people like oh well great Roman lead You see what's what's happened with Greg Roman since with him and Lamar and it has been good overall but it could be better and I feel like there's just For games like the dolphins game and games just the slow starts and the getting the plays to the line of scrimmage So late and I just feel like it's something that's good, which has been good overall I feel like it could be so much better and I feel like they I Just feel like it's so much more That Lamar can do as a quarterback as a player so much more that this off I feel like this offense is just not reaching their potential despite injuries I know obviously a lot of people are hurt and have been hurt and some more will get hurt Unfortunately because that's football, but I just feel like the offense hasn't reached is full potential And as it can be very frustrating to watch But hopefully this second half of the season some can turn around But with Greg Roman, he does have a history He does have a history with the 49ers He has a history with the bills and now he has a history with the Ravens too But I'm just hoping that that history can not repeat itself and and things can just Advance a whole lot then they have been so can how you feel about Greg Roman just overall As Ravens offensive coordinator, how you feel about Greg Roman and his role with and for Lamar Jackson How do you feel about great? Then you mentioned that history in Graven I think it's it's important to talk about that because you know He was in San Francisco a Colin Kaepernick He was in Buffalo with Tyrod Taylor And with those two players each of them had a really good overall season like really really good overall season And then the next year their production kind of fell off a cliff a little bit and never really recovered now Greg Roman's always been a run game mastermind You know he's had great rushing offenses over the course of his NFL career as a coordinator And those offenses he's been able to build but the past games have just not been there for him And so when Lamar Jackson has had his MVP season in 2019 People are asking the question will it be the same as Colin Kaepernick and as a Tyrod Taylor and in 2020 the regression for Lamar Jackson, you know, it was there in terms of stats now for for an MVP season This is a statistical regression. You know, it's gonna be expecting He can't improve every single year from a season you add like that You know by 2028 he's throwing set 70 touchdowns a year, but I think that for Roman I've liked for the most part and this is a my Miami game is not in this They'll get me wrong, but I think for the most part. He's been better at adjusting this year We've seen him have bad quarters in half bad halves, but he's come out and he's adjusted better than I saw in 2020 I thought that was encouraging Miami was a step in the wrong direction And this is a what have you done for me now lately league where you're fixated on what has happened lately And it's understandable because you know the results of week two or week four at this point Don't mean as much as what happened last week because that's in the now and that's in the present Well, I mean it's in the past now, but that's what's going on recently. So for Roman I think that he you know, he shouldn't be fired tomorrow or or next week But if he continues to struggle It becomes all right. What is it with this Ravens offense that needs to change if they're not getting off to the fast starts If stuff doesn't improve in the areas that needs to improve at now If Roman completely falls off a cliff this year and struggles The only way I can see him sticking around is if the team says look we had a ton of injuries We don't know what this offense is at full strength and they keep him if he does well then they keep him and everything's good but I think also a point that I want to point out is Consumnity with these offensive coordinators I think the team really does value because you go back to the Joe Flacco days and he had a new offensive coordinator It seemed like every single season or every other year, you know You can talk about cam camera and Mark Tressman Jim Caldwell all all these different Coordinators where for Lamar Jackson and Roman to be together to be familiar with each other Obviously if it's not working, you know, it's not working you got to let him go But I think Roman has impressed me in some areas this year where he didn't in 2020 I've seen growth from him But now it's a better continuing to grow because if he just stops and all of a sudden it goes back to what it was in 2020 then you have to decide what to do and at that point maybe I'm looking at somebody new but for now If you can continue to improve I think it's okay to keep him around But of course if there's somebody to put the blame on, you know I don't see anybody else other than Roman who will take it if the Ravens start to struggle and the last question On this episode of question from subscribers came from my guide King He said a engraving this recent loss to the dolphins has really got me wondering Whether the organization understands how important it is to get Lamar an offensive coordinator Who will be an asset to him and the rest of the offense and not a liability I have some facts regarding Roman's tenor here as offensive coordinator and my question is simple in light of these facts How long does ownership choose personal friendship over positioning this team for legitimate Super Bowl runs? Thank you for taking the time to answer this question. Hopefully we can get back to winning in spite of our offensive coordinator Oh, well. All right, so fact number one He said Roman in spite of having successful offenses briefly in San Francisco and Buffalo was never a qualified candidate in terms of having a passing scheme That is diversified and competitive number two Play calling has much to do with timing and feel for the game and Roman is consistent at calling plays at disrupt times Momentum and show no feel for the game The delay Oh number three the delay of game penalties as a result of him not knowing what to call is both egregious and unfair to our players So we were just talking about that Number four if you watch the game closely, especially in the dolphins game Romans consistently calls plays where passcatchers consistently run routes behind the line of scrimmage parallel to the line of scrimmage and embarrassly short of the line to gain must be talking about those screen place Number five Opponents seeing this on film. No, they can simply stick their foot in the dirt and lay all players out short of the line to gain because of these Sesame Street route concepts Number six Predictably he gets you beat in the NFL. Oh predictability gets you beat in the NFL when these guys get paid to study film So why is it that Devin Duvenay jet sweep although successful is dialed up almost every time early in the game at the most predictable times in the game Along with they use why receive a screens to Hollywood is obvious to me that Roman only has a handful of passing plays that insist on calling That he insists on calling so frequently that they are super predictable and Lastly when we as a fan base clamor for more screens I think we mean to the running backs as well with blockers out in front Specifically thrown over the heads of an aggressive defensive line when they are working on offensive line I know we don't necessarily have the most athletic group of offensive linemen But I guess it's too much to ask for an offensive coordinator to actually dial up. Well thought out place Man, I guess he's not a Roman fan He said can't wait to see what this offense could look like and we get someone with no affiliation to hardball whatsoever His guys are always a big Yikes, oh So With all that being said one of the things With a hardball that always make fun of but it is true That he he puts on for his guys. He loves his guys He knows his guys and then he will go to bed for his guys If you want his friends if y'all have a coach together if he got love for you, then he will get you a job And sometimes we've seen where this he can be loyal to a fault Now with Greg Roman like Kev just mentioned with the the offensive coordinators with the Ravens When when you can have some consistency at a position or at a coaching spot That's a good thing because we've seen it where teams Things that that flip and flopping always firing this guy that guy in the third It's usually not a good thing. It usually doesn't work out for them But with the Ravens, they've they've been pretty consistent. Obviously at the head coach position John hardball has been there what? 12 13 years, I forget how long he's been there, but it's been a long time and With with Greg Roman with everything that you mentioned It's a big yikes It's it's awesome stuff to think about how you mentioned the the again the getting late to the line of scrimmage How you mentioned the the the one that was my favorite? Well, not my favorite, but the one that stuck out to me the most from your list Was about the timing in the momentum and how they can be these plays that just disrupt that And that's never anything that I really thought about before but it is something that we've seen a lot And like Kev mentioned earlier with Greg Roman. No, he's not gonna get fired right now. We know he's not now I think I really do think because When you want when you're in the spotlight that that pressures on so if We the world watched the Miami Dolphins game the world got to see it And it has brought up a lot of conversations that people had been heading before About GRO GRO GRO fired GRO GRO's this GRO's that GRO's bad So if he came out I don't expect him to and I don't want him to But if the Ravens offense came out and they were flat like for the entire Chicago game I do really think that there could be a chance that they could move on I really do because there's pressure on him there's a lot of pressure on him right now and Again because the world the world saw that that's on full display So not only is it for on full display for Greg Roman, but it's on full display for Harbaugh now With when you talked about Harbaugh hiring his buddies and Kevin, I'm gonna let you get in shortly. Don't don't worry I ain't gonna talk forever. I know I can but um, we talked about Harbaugh hiring his buddies That is something that he's been doing, but I do not see I do not see the Ravens going away from that simply because That's what the Ravens do. Um, they are a a family oriented organization So EDC and Harbaugh Ozzy, Bishadi all of them are gonna be on the same page for whoever they bring in They're not just gonna be it's not gonna be like all right Harbaugh wants to hire this guy Oh, no, but EDC wants to get that guy Ozzy wants to get that guy Bishadi's like, okay You know what? No, bring me this guy that they're not gonna be doing it like that So that part I don't think that's gonna go away and that's like To me, I think it's a gift and a curse all at the same time It's a gift because a all of y'all in it together, which is great and you want that But it can be a curse because you may there may be somebody that could be More qualified than one of your friends and whatnot Um or somebody that you coach within the past and you choose Somebody who's maybe less qualified since you're closer to them rather than a person who may be who may be more qualified but Kiv Have at it. I'll let you take it away now Now, you know, there was an interesting take that I saw On twitter and I can't remember who put it out But there was a question posed and it was Has lemar jackson outgrown Greg roman has an offensive coordinator and that's a different word in a different kind of twist on this whole situation Because I think what roman has done in boltz more. He's had a ton of success You know, obviously the mvp season with lemar jackson He's he's anchored one of the best run games in NFL history But he does have really apparent flaws and nobody's perfect You know, there's not going to be a perfect player a perfect coach perfect coordinator perfect whoever But you know, it is a fair question to ask, you know Has lemar jackson achieved everything has this offense achieved everything it can under Greg roman and do they need somebody to come in and take it to the next level? That's what people have been clamoring for and when they see the the flaws come A bit more consistently than I think we saw a little bit earlier in the year For example, the timing was mentioned in the Miami game. It was second and 17 And what happens the ravens run it would leave you on bell. They get I think it was one yard Maybe he didn't even gain anything It's the plays like that to kind of have fans and everybody's scratching their head Where it's like, you know, obviously in a second and 17 situation Now you can catch a defense off guard with a run, but they're already sending pressure They already have guys at the line So, you know when you see that don't you think the short passing game would work But then the short passing game doesn't work and the screens don't work and all of a sudden It's like is this offense going to do anything and all of a sudden they can't So for roman in particular for what he's done for this organization I think he's done a lot of good, but these next couple weeks I agree with him engraving they're going to be very telling about how this organization feels about roman Especially if the team struggles if the offense gets back on track then all of a sudden it becomes all right You know what he adjusted the adjustments were made and it was fine Now, you know, then the in-game adjustment question comes up and all of a sudden, you know, can you do it in the game? But you know if they have the week if it was really a short week where the ravens They they just couldn't get it done there and they play well against chicago Then that's what it is But at the end of the day for a ravens offense that has been so good The they're going to take that into account and they're going to say, you know what we have had injuries There has been success the passing offense has improved this season And they're also they're hiring minds around him who I think can work with them. Keith Williams t martin You know, this isn't just the roman show. I think that you know, he is the guy who calls the place He is the guy who makes those shots But at the same time, I think that The ravens do have a really good coaching staff around roman But now the question is do they need a new guy at the center of that offensive staff to make the necessary jump For lemar jackson in this offense because lemar jackson deserves to have a coordinator Who can get the most out of his game if that's not gray roman Then I think the ravens would have to make a change and they would want to make that change assuming That's the answer that they get which is all right. He's not this guy But you know in a what have you done for me now lately league the Miami game is looming large and understandably so But for a guy like roman, I think that he Will at least get a couple more weeks on the very short end of that I do see maybe a scenario where the ravens just come out super flat Like you said engraven maybe his changes made we saw it and it sparked a super war run for the ravens the last time They fired an offensive coordinator mid season. So there's a lot of flak with roman, you know He gets a lot of it and some of it is very very deserved You know for the the play calling and the ability to not have the play clock run down to zero on every play and just You know everything like that But you know roman has done a lot of good for this organization You know you take the go with the bad and all these coordinators but now again it goes back to the growth You know I like to talk about growth a lot Because if it stays the way it is and it's stagnant and there's no growth That means the marzaxon isn't growing and that's where the real issue becomes because the marzaxon has all the talent in the world to become A player who just you know when he's when it's all said and done You know you can talk about him as one of the great So I think that for a player like jackson He deserves to have a coordinator who can get the most out of them And we're going to see if it's roman or not over these next couple of weeks a couple of months And if roman stays maybe over the next year, so but we'll see what the time for Graving
